FSS reset and Odometer totally hosed up!

I had my oil changed yesterday and I went to reset my FSS indicator earlier today. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter, but the reset didn't work.

As I was holding the "0" on for the last time waiting for the beep to indicate that it was changed. I never saw the 10,000 show up in the display.

Now, my trip odometer is totally dark, and the FSS indicator with the wrench icon and "400" mileage readout is still illuminated in the other window. I drove like this for 45 minutes earlier. I went inside and came out 30 minutes later and started the car to the same display.

Can anyone help me on this one?

well, to start things off, did you try holding down the "+" button with the headlights on to get the interior illumination to intensify?

Branshew,

Is it possible that you were mistaken on the key position?
When you put your key in is POSITION 1, Next stop is POSITION 0, After that is POSITION 2, and when you start the machine is POSITION 3.

That was my mistake when I try to reset mine last weekend. But after found out about the position everything was working as described in the manual.
One more thing, when you turn the key from position 2 to position 0, do it slowly. (It's such a short turn, I missed it twice when I did this).

I hope it's working!

-S-

I pulled the fuses to reset the display. It came back on and I went through the procedure again with no problem. All is well again.
